I'm so frigging pumped I may own this company as a shareholder very soon! Can you imagine companies like Google or say Tesla who may look to buy this technology especially if they couldn't figure it out...Frank Z is a once in a lifetime inventor that most of the world doesn't even know YET!

From the WSJ article.

“Think of the rocket belt as the ultimate drug,” Tyler says. “It makes you feel really good, but it only lasts 20 seconds. Now you’re hooked and it’s so much fun. I want that fun to last 10 minutes.”

Zapata will offer jet hover entertainment in a much safer package than Jetpack. Legs are above the jet heat, much more redundancy and 10 minutes or more flight time.

Fortunately for Zapata Jetpack chose the backpack approach which I think was a mistake. The reason they chose that is that at the time they did not have the programmers or the inclination to develop the software and systems required for a platform - my guess.

Good article on turbine optimization for the application. Zapata will have the money to optimize design and mfg for their apps.
